What if your backyard, nearby park, or window could become a sanctuary of worship, a stage where God’s orchestra plays all year? Nature is never silent. From the whistle of the wind to the hum of a bee, God has composed a living, breathing symphony that changes with the seasons.
In Nature is God’s Symphony by Gloriangeliz Solano, young readers are invited into a world where birds sing, rivers dance, and the whole earth joins together to glorify its Creator. This beautifully illustrated book isn’t just a story. It’s an invitation to worship through wonder.
But how can families embrace this message all year long?
Spring: The Harp of New Beginnings
Spring is a season of awakening. The gentle gurgle of rivers breaking through the last bits of winter ice is like a harp, softly calling us to new life. Birds chirp their praises early in the morning, and blossoms hum with bees hard at work. Invite your children to go on a “praise walk.” Ask them: What can you hear that sounds joyful? What might God be saying through it? Encourage them to journal or draw what they see and hear. It’s a form of worship!
Summer: The Brass of Celebration
In summer, nature turns up the volume. Seagulls call like cornets, waves crash like cymbals, and thunderstorms roll in with triumphant drums. It’s a bold, bright symphony that mirrors the energy of childhood.
Whether at the beach, camping, or just playing in the yard, pause and say, Thank you, God, for this song. Try turning off the music in the car and rolling down the windows instead. What summer sounds can you identify with your child?
Autumn: The Bells of Change
Autumn rustles in with golden leaves and the crisp crackle of bonfires. Trees let go of their old leaves as if to say that change can be beautiful. This is the perfect time to talk to your children about transitions, new school years, new challenges, or even changes in friendships. Use the sounds of crunching leaves or swirling wind to point back to God’s gentle hand in every season of life. Let nature’s instruments lead your family in gratitude and trust.
Winter: The Silent Notes of Rest
While winter may seem quiet, silence has its own melody. Snow falls like a soft cotton blanket, muting the world and inviting us to stillness. In the book, winter reminds us that even rest glorifies God. Teach your children that silence can be sacred. Light a candle, sit together for a few moments without speaking, and then reflect: What did you hear in the quiet? What did you feel God was saying?
Takeaway
